This book was read by Meredith Lewis, a Reference Librarian at (mostly) the Orange County Campus Library. [caption id="attachment_2035" align="aligncenter" width="198"] The Fire Sermon by Francesca Haig[/caption] Why did you choose to read this book? If we’re being honest, the cover was impressive—a picture of a burned out Omega symbol with no other text and artistically “burned” corners.

The Durham Tech Library staff is heartbroken to announce the death of Rachel Smith, our Northern Durham Center Librarian and off-site library liaison. We are shocked and devastated, and in addition to feeling Rachel's loss at our college, we are incredibly sad for her family’s loss. Rachel joined our Durham Tech Library team in January 2020.

This book was read by Meredith Lewis, a Reference Librarian at (mostly) the Orange County Campus Library. Why did you choose to read this book? The Orange County Campus has a new small collection of medical and scientific nonfiction, and this one stood out because it was about an entire body system that, frankly, I realized I knew very, very little about.

If we don't have something you need, we can probably get it! As great a collection as we have, Durham Tech Library doesn't have ALL the books we'd love to have. With the funding we receive, we try to purchase books most needed to support courses being taught at the college, but we can't buy everything that we want and that our very diverse users would like.
